The Modular Company (TMC)

Today I did a lot of housekeeping stuff that I'd been putting of for a long time (moving to the living room because it is just too bloody cold in the room that I used to work in so far, this house is from 1903 and it has only one little heater, hopefully I'll have that remedied somewhere in the middle of the next year).

Then I decided to see if I could make a dent in the 'revisions' problem, and *amazing*, drupal has a daz like revisions system ready to go, the only thing that was still missing is to be able to moderate the revisions, and for that there is - you've guess it - a ready made module that you can drop in and that sets up a moderation queue leaving the visitors with only the already approved materials.

Some problems remain:

- the revision queue seems to be 'administrator only'
- I have no idea yet how this integrates with the userpoints module yet
- images that are uploaded bypass the moderation
- it's still devilishly hard for me to see how I can create more complicated intra-node linkages
- to allow the editing of the body text of the cities / entities pages I had to re-enable edit permissions for logged in users, and now they can suddenly delete the images of other users again, no idea why !

On the whole though, this is pretty good news. I just talked things over with Joyce and Mirka trying to decide between using a single setup (drupal) or doing things 'double', small sites in drupal and the larger ones custom made. I felt that I'd rather miss some of our desired functionality and stick with a single system but it seems like we're going to have our cake and eat it too after all.
